This update adds badges, Screen Time stats, and a visual refresh. Lock Mode is stricter: you can't loosen the rules on impulse. A mandatory 60-minute wait is enforced.
Walk first, Scroll Later.
Unlock the apps you choose — with your steps.
They stay locked until you walk.
Step1st is an app blocker that turns walking into access. Most screen time apps set a timer you can skip. This one doesn't. You pick the apps that pull you in, set a daily step goal, and those apps stay locked until you walk. Phone addiction doesn't break on willpower. A simple rule: move first, then open them.
HOW IT WORKS
1. Choose the apps you want to lock
2. Set your daily step goal
3. Walk to unlock them for the rest of the day
Miss the goal? They stay locked. Hit it? They unlock for the rest of the day.
LOCK MODE
• Flexible — Change your goal or locked apps anytime
• Committed — Can't loosen your goal or locked apps
• Locked — Can't change your goal or locked apps
You can't loosen a stricter mode on impulse. A mandatory 60-minute wait is enforced.
WHY IT WORKS
Most screen time limits fail because they're easy to bypass — ignore, override, ask for more time. Step1st replaces that tap with a walk. No skip. The apps you choose stay locked until you hit your step goal.

PRIVACY
Step1st keeps your data on your device.
• Apple Screen Time — Used to lock the apps you select and enforce daily restrictions. Step1st never accesses other users' data.
• Motion — Tracks your steps so you can unlock apps only when you walk. All step data is stored locally.
• Apple Health — Optional, for longer-term step trends and insights. Your health data remains on your device and is not shared.
No accounts or cloud storage are required. Your app usage and step information stay private and under your control.
